Adventures in Idaho

Over the fourth of July we packed the minivan to full capacity and set off for a road trip to Utah and Idaho to visit family and camp at Yellowstone! We started in St.George, then Syracuse, then to Twin Falls to visit one of my best friends and old roomates from College. Her family took us to Shoshone Falls and then to the local frozen yogurt bar "Kiwi Loco!" We had so much fun and she's one of those friends who is always fun to visit and her family is so easy to be around!



From Twin Falls we made the short trip to Rupert to visit Brian's grandma and some of his relatives.

The next morning was fourth of July and we headed to Rexburg after church to visit Brian's brother and his wife. They fed us a delicious dinner and saved some fireworks and sparklers for us. We finished the night off with ice cream buffet, my favorite!!!

The next morning we left Rexburg to make our way to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. We met up with my family in Jackson Hole then went to Jenny Lake where we did a beautiful hike and took a boat ride.


Last, but not least we CAMPED in Yellowstone! It was cold and rainy/windy at night, but around 60 degrees in the day. We ate yummy food, (CAN YOU TELL I'M ALWAYS ABOUT THE FOOD?) we saw lots of beautiful scenery and nature, animals, waterfalls, gesyers, hot springs, mud volcanoes, and of course OLD FAITHFUL! Such a change from here in the desert. I am relived to say we survived and encountered zero bears. (One was put down in our campground the week before we got there!! Thanks to all our friends and family for having us, and putting up with me while I got after everyone about their food. (People, I was really afraid of bears getting us, okay!)
